I've found a deep and real love for sewing and quilting! The only thing that I enjoy more is connecting with all of you about it!
I have become totally obsessed with our baby tortoises- so ridiculously cute!
I am a mom of 2 boys and wife to a great guy!
With my full time job, family and my love of crafting, I am pretty busy most of the time! Add Rheumatoid Arthritis, unfortunately, and you have Me! I try not to let it get me down, though I Do walk much like our tortoises, at times! haha

InterActive ScrapChat- How it works!

Sunday, July 8, 2012

Don't you just hate it when your just going along and all of a sudden you realize that you have 30 minutes before church and you have a birthday party right afterward!?That was my morning! Oh Boy! =)Thankfully, my CTMH was close at hand and I was able to make up a cute little card on the fly!It isn't exactly what I wanted to do for this particular (now 7yr old) girl, but it would just have to do! I FINALLY got to use my June SOTM! I just love the Birds and all that Tweet stuff is just adorable! She really enjoyed the sayings, just as I thought she would! But more then that, I packed the card with a little cash for a guaranteed smile! (That's the trick! You can give kids ANYTHING as long as there's cash inside they are SOLD! LOL)I used Hollyhock for the main bird, Plum Petal for the balloons, hat and sentiments and Lagoon for the lil bird. I also attached with 3D tape (I LOVE that stuff) so the birds would stand out!It isn't much but I thought since I haven't gotten to use LAST months stamp yet at least I could post what I have been able to get done!...Boy am I looking forward to July's SOTM! ..Hopefully I'll be able to post something with it before August!

Ch# 26 (Week 26) FOOTPRINTS Who or What has left Footprints on your Heart forever?

Although both of my boys have left very dear footprints on my heart, my youngest sons' heart surgery at the beginning of the year really stands out.

He really surprised me in every way. His surgery went perfect and his recovery went just as well! Within 6 days of surgery he was up and running around! I had no idea this strong little boy was capable of such a miracle! Thank You Lord!

I hadn't thought about it like this until I seen the challenge I mentioned above but the footprints left by the miracle of life are firmly placed in my heart.

I thought the layout that I made after his recovery really fit with my "footprints". (Sorry for the glare!)

All About Me!

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis but I try not to let that get me down!
